Preparation

1. Prior to installation, examine all boxes and packages for shipping damage and compare the piece

count with your packing slip. After opening all boxes and packages read this introduction carefully.

Check that all of the needed parts are included in the package by checking off the components on

the “Detailed Diagram of Shower Door Components”. If the unit has been damaged, has a finishing

defect, or has missing parts, please contact our customer support department within 3 business

days of the delivery date. Please note that DreamLine

®

will not replace any damaged products

or missing parts free of charge after 3 business days or if the product has been installed. Feel

free to contact DreamLine

®

if you have any questions, and please provide an order number, job

name or other proof of purchase to help us identify your original order.

2. Please note that you should consult your local building codes with questions on installation

compliance standards. Building and plumbing codes may vary by location, and DreamLine is

not responsible for code compliance standards for your project and will not accept any

returns.

3. If this unit is going to be installed in a new construction, please install all of the required plumbing

and drainage before installing the shower. Use a competent and licensed (if required by local code)

plumber for all plumbing installation.

4. Please make sure that prior to beginning the installation, the surfaces are leveled and solid and

will be able to support the total weight of the unit. Also make sure the walls are at right angles.

Irregular installation surface level, radius corners or improper angle of side walls will result in serious

problems for your installation. Please, note that some adjustments and drilling might be necessary

during the installation process.

5. Please protect all primary surfaces of the product during installation. Never set your glass down

directly onto a tile floor. Leave corner protectors in place until it is necessary to remove them.

Always use a piece of wood or cardboard to protect the bottom edge and corners of the glass prior

to and during installation.

6. This unit must be installed upon a finished threshold and against finished walls.

7. The hinge panel glass for this model should not be adjusted more than 1/4” for

out-of-plumb within the u-channel. This model does NOT have any adjustment for overall width.

Verify that the model size ordered will fit the finished opening before begining installation.

8. This model requires that you drill into the threshold for proper installation.

Professional installation recommended

5UNIDOOR-X Style M Ver 1 Rev 6 06/2016

NOTE: DO NOT install the handle onto the door glass until instructed to do so. DO NOT attempt to

lift the glass using the handle. This could result in damage to the glass and/or serious personal injury.

Always use an assistant or a professional grade glass suction cup when handling heavy glass.

Tools

NOTE: Unpack your unit carefully and inspect it. Lay it out and identify all parts using the detailed diagram and

packing list in your manual as a reference. Before discarding the carton, check for small hardware bags that may

have fallen to the bottom of the box. If any parts are damaged or missing, please contact DreamLine

®

for

replacement. The shipping boxes may contain extra parts not used in your model conguration.

Retain these installation instructions for future reference.

profile). These are used as setting blocks to

protect the bottom of the glass.

•Slip the U-channel 2 (#29) (bottom profile) and uncut

U-channel 1 (#09) (76” wall profile) onto the Hinge

panel glass (#32) as shown.

•Place the Hinge panel glass (#32) with the U-channels

1 & 2 onto the threshold (Fig 1.2).

•Adjust the Hinge Panel glass (#32) and U-channel 1

(#09) (76”, wall profile) against the wall ensuring that

the Hinge Panel glass (#32) is level vertically and

U-channel 1 (#09) is flush with the wall.

•Make certain that your U-channel 2 (#29) is parallel to

the outside of your threshold. Use a level while

adjusting your glass to verify that it is plumb.

See Fig. 1 For details

4. Position the U-channel 2 (bottom profile) (#29)

onto the threshold along your line and mark the posi-

tion of the holes for drilling. You need to use at least 3

holes for the U-channel 2 (bottom profile) (#29): one

9. Attach the Hinges (05) to the Hinge Panel glass

(32) with the decorative bolts facing inside the shower.

The Door Glass (01) ships with four 5/8” shims

attached to the top (2pcs) and bottom (2pcs). Determine

the swing of the door. Remove the shims from the top

of the door glass and leave the bottom shims in place.

Set the Door Glass (01) onto the threshold at the

desired location and check for level. These 5/8” shims

will leave the proper spacing at the bottom of the door

glass and will ensure that the door height finishes at 72”,

but always confirm with a measurement.

Level up the Door Glass (01) with the Hinge Panel

glass (32) and fasten the hinges onto the Door Glass

(01) using one gasket per side. Make sure the top edges

of the Door Glass (01) and Hinge Panel glass (32) are

aligned.

Remove the 5/8” spacers from beneath the Glass door.**

See Fig. 10 for details.

10. Mount the Handle (02) to the Glass door (#01).

See Fig. 11 for details.

** NOTE: It is strongle recommended

to leave the 5/8” shims beneath the

door glass until the silicone securing

the hinge panel glass has fully cured.

11. Measure the bottom of the Glass door (#01) from

end to end to determine the actual width of the door.

Cut the Bottom anti-water strip (#07) to the size of

your measurement and notch 3/8” of the inner side of

the Bottom anti-water strip (#07)as shown in Fig 12

Press the Bottom Anti-water strip (#07) onto the

bottom edge of the Glass door (#01).

NOTE: Make sure the Bottom anti-water strip (#07) is

flush to the vertical edge of the Handle side of the Glass

door (#01).

See Fig. 12 for details

12. To install the Flanged side strip (#33), take three measurements :

• from the top edge of the Glass door (#01) to the top of the center portion of the top Hinge (#06)

(see Fig 13.1 for an example to use for all three measurements)

• from the bottom of the center portion of the top Hinge to the top of the center portion of the

bottom Hinge (#05)

• from the bottom of the center portion of the bottom Hinge (#05) to the threshold

Cut the Flanged side strip (#33) according to these measurements.

Notch the cut strips to be able to slide them into the Hinges and around the installed Bottom anti-water

strip (#07) to cover the space between both glass panels.

Open the door and press the cut strips onto the vertical edge of the Glass door (#01) so that it will overlap

the panel glass. See Fig. 13 for details

For Style M only: If your model does not include additional

panel glass, procede to install the L-shaped strip (#08) to

the wall for the door to close against to seal.

13. With the door closed place the L-shaped strip (#08) on the door

edge and mark its location on the wall.

Please note that the corner of the L-shaped strip (#08) should face

inward.

With the door opened, remove the tape backing from the adhesive

strip and firmly press the L-shaped strip (#08) to the wall. Allow time

for the adhesive to set before allowing the door to close against the

L-shaped strip (#08).

See Fig. 14 for details

NOTE:

The above procedure for installing the L-shaped strip (#08) is for the

Unidoor Style M shower door only. If installing another model please

refer to the separate panel glass installation manual located in the

glass packaging for model specific instructions. Hinges set to over-

close require the use of the L-shaped strip (#08) or other strike vinyl.

ATTENTION:

Prior to the next step, please be sure that the section of the

wall where you need to attach the L-shaped strip (#08) is

clean, dry and free from soap, oil and any construction debris.

NOTE:

If the model included adjustable hinges, see page

#19 for the adjustable hinge instructions.

18UNIDOOR-X Style M Ver 1 Rev 6 06/2016

Fig 15

NOTE: If your model includes additional panel glass, please find the

manual for the panel glass installation in the panel glass packaging.

14.

With the door open apply waterproof silicone along the connection of both U-Channels to the wall

and threshold on the inside of shower.

NOTE: The surface needs to be clean and free of debris before applying silicone. Let the silicone cure

before closing the door to avoid contact with the Bottom anti-water strip (#33).

See Fig. 15 for details

15. Allow 24 hours for the silicone to fully cure before using the shower.
